(from Jersey Coast Anglers Association (Mid-Summer 1999 Newsletter)
Jersey Coast Anglers Association will be hosting an awards dinner as a fundraiser on November 14, 1999 at Crystal Point Yacht Club, RT 70 & River Rd, Point Pleasant, NJ to honor this year and past years recipients of our "Sportsperson of the Year" award. Past honorees include legislators, environmental leaders, outdoor writers and other worthy recipients.
This gala event will accommodate 400 supporters and friends for a semi-formal sit-down dinner with choice of entrees and cash bar. A well known keynote speaker will be featured, there will be door prizes and a fun auction with loads of great items.
Today’s marine recreational anglers are faced with problems their fathers would have never dreamed possible. Entire fisheries have been decimated by unchecked commercial overfishing. The marine environment has been ravaged by pollution, overdevelopment and dwindling access. Fisheries management policies are influenced by special interest groups trying to exclude or limit recreational participation. The list seems endless.
The JCAA is comprised of dedicated volunteer anglers and offers hope and a voice that is heard loud and clear by legislators in Trenton and Washington DC. JCAA has worked hard to have striped bass declared a gamefish in New Jersey and is taking the fight to the federal level. We have earned national recognition by protecting fisheries resources, fighting for a healthy marine ecosystem and for promoting and enhancing fishing as wholesome outdoor family recreation.
The JCAA has a distinguished record of public outreach, sponsoring outdoor education programs in schools and through a variety of public events. Our "Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs" programs have benefited vulnerable children throughout the state.
But, we need your support to continue our work. Sponsors help provide the funding to perpetuate the work that JCAA is doing on behalf of recreational anglers. Contributions, donations or any prizes should be sent to the above address C/O JCAA Awards Dinner, or call Don Marantz (609) 259-6368 (night) or Al Marantz (732) 224-9350 (day) or (732) 280-2643 (night) for more information.
Sincerely,
Don Marantz
Awards Dinner Chairman
